Slam poetry can be considered different to more conventional, written forms of poetry. Slam poetry is created to be performed out loud and responds to audience feedback. Slam poetry uses poetic devices such as onomatopoeia, alliteration and repetition to engage the audience. Harry Baker is an example of a slam poet. The poem 'Where The Wild Things Are' conforms to the conventions of slam poetry.
